Dr. Brian Vassar Heil, MD
I had an active lesion on my lower back for some 50 years. I went to several dermatologists over the years for treatment and prescriptions. The lesion would get worse in hot weather or when I was stressed. It would seep through. Dr. Heil's office performed an on-site surgery in 2009. The work was successful and within a week, there was no more seeping or even a hint that there was ever anything there. Today on the 24th of May 2014, there is no hint that the sore will ever return.
Dr. Heil also removed a growth behind my neck that never returned.
Everything he does, he does with professional skill and care. Why would anyone go to another Doctor when we are lucky to have Dr. Heil right here in the Pittsburgh area.
